ok im in the process of switching from EFI to a carb. how do you suggest i wire in my new fuel pump (i already cut out the wires and pulled the relays to my old fuel pump connection) any suggestions? also.. i can get rid of the 3 fuseable link wires to the left of my fuseable link box right? i think they are labeled EGI EGI and something else..... i forgot anyway its 2 orange and 1 green i believe... they are for the fuel injection stuff

I wired mine strait to the ignition switch in the run spot. This is a dangerous method because it wont stop pumping gas until the car is turned off even if the motor is not running,.. and on fire. There is something about running power from the oil pressure switch or something like that to the fuel pump. I haven't gotten this far yet on my project. Do a search in the Chevy Conversion forum.

I was thinkng about this the other day too.. I have my pump running off a rocker switch.. so if the engine stalls, or I 'forget' to turn it off, it just keeps on pumping.. :shock: I'm wondering if there's a way to 'jump' power somewhere off the ignition circuit somehow.. so if the engine is off, the pump will not get power..

All you need is s voltage source that turn on with the engine and a relay.

The relay has a switch section and a coil section, when the coil is energized it pulls the switch closed and turns on whatever is attached. 8)
